Embodiment Construction

To verify the results of the modeling analysis, the first through fourth cantilevers are manufactured, and the bending deformations at ends of the cantilevers are measured. A method of manufacturing the cantilevers will now be described with reference to FIGS. 8 through 17.

As shown in FIG. 8, to manufacture the second cantilever, a field oxide layer 72 is formed on a predetermined region of a substrate 70 to define an active region 74. After forming a gate electrode G on the active region, a source S and a drain D are formed at corresponding sides of the gate electrode G to form a transistor. A sacrificial layer 78 such as a phosphosilicate glass (PSG) layer is formed on the substrate 70 having the transistor. The sacrificial layer 78 will be removed to form an air gap between the substrate 70 and a MEMS driving device. An etch stop layer 80 and a photosensitive layer 82 are then successively formed on the sacrificial layer 78. The photosensitive layer 82 is patterned by using a mas...

Abstract

A cantilever having a step-up structure and a method of manufacturing the same. The cantilever includes a substrate, an anchor formed on the substrate, and a moving plate connected to the anchor while maintaining a predetermined gap from the substrate. The anchor includes a first anchor of a predetermined shape and a second anchor perpendicular to an edge of the first anchor while being formed along a longitudinal axis of the moving plate. Accordingly, a deformation of the cantilever caused by the high temperature and pressure in a manufacturing process thereof is considerably reduced. As a result, the yield rate of the cantilever is improved, and the reliability of a product using the cantilever is also improved.

Description

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2002-434 filed on Jan. 4, 2002, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) driving device, and more particularly, to a cantilever having a step-up structure which reduces a deformation of a moving plate and a method of manufacturing the same.2. Description of the Related ArtGenerally, a MEMS driving device, such as a MEMS switch, is an application device used to route a signal and match impedance networks in a radio communication system which uses microwaves or millimeter waves.Typical MEMS techniques used to produce a MEMS are a bulk micro-machining technique and a surface micro-machining technique. The bulk micro-machine technique enables a mechanical driving by forming an air gap through melting a portion of a substrate after forming a multiple-layer on t...
